I would greatly appreciate anymore I might have missed plus your thoughts and experiences.
The co-terminal base at Endeavor can be a plus or a minus. Once you have a line and some seniority, you might even find that some of the LGA trips are better than JFK trips... or the drive could negate that. You can bid either way... there is an avoid LGA option in PBS.
No arguments on the pay or QOL, particularly once you're off reserve.
The 900 is nice, but in NYC, the 200 schedules are pretty good, and you might get senior on the plane quicker. YMMV.
The Delta interview is nice, but you've got it ranked in the correct place... it's a guaranteed interview, but hardly a guaranteed job.
Reserve and upgrade times are certainly longer for now than Republic. Upgrade times are probably longer than Envoy... don’t know about reserve.
